Description of the Hob

INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered CORGI installer, and in

accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.

Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the

event of a breakdown.

WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which

were put on in the factory.

Hob burners

To light a burner:

z Push in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.

z Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the

"thermocouple" (fig. 1 - letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off,

otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

z Then adjust the flame as required.

z If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.

Each control knob is equipped with a pilot light which gradually lights up according to the heat

level that you select with the control knob.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark

generator to be activated automatically.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat

bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).

Burner minimum maximum

Large (ultra-rapid) 180 mm 260 mm

Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm 220 mm

Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm 160 mm

Operation

))

)

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the

flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the

recommended size, the flame will spread beyond

the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to

overheat.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,

as the overheated splashes could easily

ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please

contact your local Service Force Centre.

It is highly recommended that cast-iron pots

and pans are only used on the central and

rear burners so that damage is not caused to

the electronic components.

Using the Wok Stand

A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a

round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand

must only be used on the central burner, and should

not be used with any other type of wok or pan.

When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in

the frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan

supports, as shown in figure 2.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the

hob from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily

than if it is left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth

well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing

up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the

following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick

saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the

following product s are recommended:

- for stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless

steel cleaner;

- for other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical

supply and call your nearest Service Force Centre.

Pan Supports

To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they are mounted on metal pins located

in the back of the hob. After cleaning the hob, ensure the pan supports are properly placed

as shown in fig. 3. The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take

care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If

necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. Wash the burner caps and

crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well

moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are

particularly difficult to remove. After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode (fig.

1 - letter C). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the

burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Fig. 3

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting

your local Service Force Centre.

SYMPTOM

 There is no spark when lighting the gas

 The gas ring burns unevenly

SOLUTION

 Check that the unit is plugged in and the

electrical supply is switched on

 Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)

 Check the mains fuse has not blown

 Check the burner cap and crown have been

replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

 Check the main jet is not blocked and the

burner crown is clear of food particles.

 Check the burner cap and crown have been

replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact your local

Service Force Centre.

Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-

guarantee service calls.

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the

engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.

Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale and

adjust zero if necessary.

— Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should be

less than 0.1 Ω (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts are clean

and tight.

B. INSULATION CHECK

Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.

a) meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale.

Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there is a

short circuit.

b) meter set on Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale.

Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than ∞ (infinity) there is a fault.

NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity

check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace the faulty

component.

It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found

under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the

fault.
